The taxonomic treatment relies on a wide comparative basis, including macro- and micromorphological, karyological, chorological and ecological data. After a general description of some poorly known microCharacters of vegetative and reproductive structures, analytical keys, nomenclatural types, synonymies, descriptions, distribution maps and iconographies are provided for each entity. -
Hibernacula of Barbastella Barbastellus in Ukraine: Distribution and Some Ecological Aspects
Vespertilio 16: 55–68, 2012 ISSN 1213-6123 Hibernacula of Barbastella barbastellus in Ukraine: distribution and some ecological aspects Andriy-Taras BASHTA Institute of Ecology of the Carpathians, Kozelnytska 4, Lviv 79026, Ukraine; atbashta@gmail. Com Abstract. The paper presents a study regarding the winter aggregations of the barbastelle bat (Barbastella barbastellus) in western Ukraine, based on data collected in natural underground spaces and artificial structures (abandoned mines, ancient monuments, military fortifications, etc.). Some parameters including the size and dynamics of winter aggregations, as well as microclimate conditions of hibernacula were investigated. The most numerous barbastelle hibernaculum has been found in the Tarakaniv fortress (Rivne region); the largest aggregation of the species consisted of ca. 950 individuals. The numbers of barbastelles in Ukraine seem stable or even increasing. In Central Europe the species is not threatened as seriously as it is in Western Europe. Distribution, hibernation, winter aggregations, conservation Introduction The barbastelle bat, Barbastella barbastellus (Schreber, 1774), is a Palearctic bat species. Its range stretches from the northern Morocco to Iran and from southern Scandinavia and Latvia to Greece (Wołoszyn & Bashta 2009). In Ukraine, the barbastelle is found from the western borders to the Dnieper river. The majority of records come from the western part of Ukraine and the Crimean Mts. (Kovalyova & Taraborkin 2001, Bashta & Potish 2007, Bashta 2009). The last assessment -

Crimea Guide.Pdf
Crimea Crimean peninsula located on the south of Ukraine, between the Black and Azov Seas. In the southern part of the peninsula located Crimean mountains, more than a kilometer high. Peninsula is connected to the mainland of Ukraine by several isthmuses. The eastern part of Crimea separated from Russia by the narrow Kerch Strait, a width of less then ten kilometers. Crimea - is one of the most interesting places for tourism in Ukraine. On a very small territory - about 26,800 square kilometers, you can find the Sea and the mountains, prairies and lakes, palaces and the ancient city-states, forts and cave cities, beautiful nature and many other interesting places. During two thousand years, the Crimean land often passed from hand to hand. In ancient times, the Greeks colonized Crimea and founded the first cities. After them the Romans came here. After the collapse of the Roman Empire, Crimea became part of the Byzantine Empire. Here was baptized Prince Vladimir who later baptized Kievan Rus. For a long time in the Crimea live together Tatars, Genoese and the small principality Theodoro, but in 1475, Crimea was conquered by the Ottoman Empire. More than three hundreds years the Ottoman Empire ruled the Crimea. After the Russian-Turkish war in 1783, the peninsula became part of the Russian Empire. In 1854-1855 Crimea was occupied forces of Britain, France and Turkey. During the battle near Balaklava death many famous Britons, including Winston Churchill's grandfather. And now, the highest order of the British armed forces - the Victoria Cross minted from metal captured near Balaclava Russian guns. -

These special problems are connected to the general processes of integration of our state in the world community, ratification of some basic international documents on biodiversity, and transboundary influences on environment. On the one hand, there are given all conditions for the development of ecotourism as most "sparing" form of this economic activity, on the other hand, the given development restrains a number of factors, including economic and natural. -

FAO/Czech Republic Forestry Policy Workshop Trends in Forest Use and Conservation – Policy Options for Action Turnov – Hrubá Skála, 21-26 March 2004 Country report UKRAINE 2 FAO/Czech Republic Forestry Policy Workshop Ukraine Trends in Forest Use and Conservation– Policy Options for Action Sergiy Zibtsev1, Vladimir Tarasenko2 1National Agricultural University of Ukraine, Kyiv 2Ministry of Environment of Ukraine Executive Summary Ukraine has relatively limited area of forests and lacks its own forest resources. Forests cover 9.4 mln ha of lands. The total volume of timber comes to 1.74 billion m3. Timber presently is the forth important natural resource in Ukraine following oil, gas and coal. Over the last decade, the development of democracy, open market economy and advanced society has achieved a great progress in Ukraine. Drastic changes in social and economical life exerted direct and indirect influence on forest sector, especially on condition of forests, biodiversity, and public attitude towards forests, production and consumption of wood products. Most part of Ukrainian forests - sixty five percent - use for environmental and public purposes. While occupying less than 6% of the area of Europe, Ukraine holds approximately 35% of its biological diversity due to location at the junction of various natural zones and covering of the crossing of animals' and plants' migration paths. Ukraine contains four natural zones: broad leaves woodlands, forest-steppe, steppe, and Mediterranean Natural landscapes are represented on nearly 40% of the territory of Ukraine. The least transformed natural landscapes can be found mainly under forests. Near 44% of forests performs protective and conservative functions. Since 1992, i.e. -
Decision-Support System for Spatially Distributed Multi-Hazard Risk Analysis
Decision-Support System for Spatially Distributed Multi-Hazard Risk Analysis Maryna Zharikovaa, Volodymyr Sherstjuka, Bohdan Sakovycha a Kherson National Technical University, 24 Berislav Road, Kherson, 73008, Ukraine Abstract The paper dwells on a dynamic spatially distributed model of multi-hazard risk analysis for critical infrastructure elements, which is meant to assess risk indecision-support systems. Multi-hazard risk is centered around a model of the socio-economic system, hazard dynamics model, a model of the dynamic vulnerability of critical infrastructure elements, and a model of multi-hazard risk assessment. The hazard dynamics model represents the knowledge about the dynamics of hazards, their interactions and cascading effects using plausible event-tree networks with the events having both temporal and spatial reference. Multi-hazard risk analysis model allows assessing integrated dynamic spatially distributed multi-hazard risk in decision-support systems dealing with a threat, vulnerability, damage, cascading and domino effects. The risk scenarios within the decision-support system can describe multi-hazard risk as a multitude of spatially distributed dynamic processes influenced by a various range of drivers. The practical use of the proposed model is also considered. Keywords1 Decision-support system, risk assessment, critical infrastructure, multi-hazard risk, risk scenario, cascading effect, domino effect, event. 1. Introduction Imagine our world being impeccable, without any disasters, losses and risks – it is hardly possible, isn’t it? Unfortunately, natural disasters are quite ubiquitous, and the forests, sabulous and marine areas, such as rivers, lakes or coasts are no exception. For instance, sandy or arenaceous areas suffer from erosion, which can provoke landslides or coastal fade; rivers and lakes may be prone to shallowing and drying out, and constructing dams on rivers cause coastal erosion and wildfires that make slopes and cliffs more susceptible to floods, sinkage, landslides, mudflows and so on.
